Our house is going up in flames and we think we can appease the arsonists? My governor is right: don’t negotiate with the very people who set fire to our house. Fight and prosecute them. JB Pritzker’s fiery speech calling for mass protests sparks talk of 2028 run www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Eine Analyse, die der CDU zu denken geben müsste. Wird sie aber nicht. Sie haben sich anders entschieden. Eine Katastrophe für Deutschland, das immer weiter nach rechts treibt. So blind gegenüber den wirklichen Problemen, dass man sich nur schämen kann.

Die 'Sorgen' der AfD Wähler hat man in der #CDU ernst genommen & sich programmatisch weit angenähert, die der Grünen Wähler lächerlich gemacht & sich programmatisch entfernt. Es war & ist eine bewusste Strategie, in der es nie um die AfD ging.

Unintended consequences or just utter indifference will be: 1. More weather-related catastrophes. 2. Pause on the transition to renewable energy. 3. Protests against fossil fuel industry. 4. higher prices for insurances Yeah. Just as the other things: smart. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/c...

⚡️ EU fails to agree on sanctions on Russian LNG, Reuters reports. The EU has shelved the idea of banning Russian liquified natural gas (LNG) imports due to opposition from some members and uncertainty about alternative supplies, Reuters reported on April 16, citing undisclosed EU officials.

Wir gedenken heute des sel. Max Josef Metzger (1887-1944), der als Priester gegen das NS-Regime für ein demokratisches Deutschland eintrat und nach einer Denunziation in Brandenburg-Görden hingerichtet wurde: „Ich habe mein Leben Gott angeboten für den Frieden der Welt […].“

This is like German politicians posing in front of Auschwitz or Birkenau and saying they are even more devoted now to the Final Solution.

A staggering 70% of Congressional Republicans would personally benefit financially from the party's own tax plan. How will the tax cuts being pushed (that predominantly benefit the wealthy) be paid for? Drastic cuts to programs that help millions of people. Reverse Robinhood.

These men go home. They come back tomorrow to the next person. They are probably thinking they are just doing their job. They do not, and they will be held accountable one day. And the current Admin will certainly not save them from this. Read history.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

What is happening in the USA these days: the trashing of the inalienable human rights. For anybody who dissents with that. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights does not apply here. It never fully did - but at least the Constitution was respected, meant to secure the rights of people. No longer.

We call on @durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @jonathanjackson.house.gov @robinkelly.house.gov to fight for international students like Mohsen Madawi, to fight for all immigrants, to fight for all citizens whom Trump threatens to throw into foreign gulags. Speak out, fight for human rights!

I'll say it again: in a country where due process is individually denied and then broadly eroded and eventually eliminated, being a citizen will not protect you from the terror of this administration.

⚡️ Europe's overall Ukraine aid outpaces US by $26 billion, monitors say. The U.S. still holds a $1.1 billion edge in terms of military aid only, but Washington's assistance has stalled under Trump, a report says.

Tonight I am more proud than ever to have been a professor at Harvard University. Ironically, I left because I could not get a green-card so that my husband, an environmental engineer with a PhD, could work in the USA, too: constraints of a H1B visa at the time prevented that.

If you are not horrified by this image, you don’t have a heart. No due process, deportation, and human trafficking for money (US taxpayers pay El Salvador for this👇) means we are in the darkest times imaginable now. I wish I could say Christians are better than this. But no. They orchestrate it.

BREAKING: Famed Economist Paul Krugman just told Ari Melber: "This Tariff pause is [still] a tariff rate that is higher overall than Smooth-Hawley. This is a bigger shock to the economy than any trade policy in any country’s history."

Die nächsten Monate sind die wichtigsten in der Geschichte unserer Demokratie. Es wird jetzt immer mehr Stimmen aus Medien & Politik geben, die sagen, man solle die rechtsextreme AFD normalisieren, zusammenarbeiten. Das muss mit allen Mitteln bekämpft werden. Sonst ist das das Anfang vom Ende.

cruelty is the MAGA ‘game’. We used to condemn it in the name of morality. No more. And our media merely “report.” That, however, is complicity. Social Security classifies thousands of immigrants as dead, as part of Trump crackdown www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
